Thanks to everyone who posted a comment for a chance to win a copy of "Gun Digest 2013." Not surprisingly, the comments depict the wide range of interests held by gun enthusiasts, everything from self defense to hunting to shooting to collecting.

Probably no other area of firearms offers as much diversification as the muzzleloading field. On the one hand, we have the very primitive firearm, such as the matchlock; on the other, we have today's sophisticated muzzleloaders that incorporate the very latest in modern materials and design.

Harvester Muzzleloading has expanded its popular line of Crush Rib muzzleloader sabots to include a new .50x.40 version that lets shooters and hunters enjoy the high velocity and low recoil of lighter, smaller-diameter .400-inch bullets.
